In August, 26 pets traded shelter days for couch cuddles, backyard adventures, and all the little moments that make a house feel like home.

Your support gives these happy endings a chance to happen, and we’re so grateful to share them with you. Now, let’s take a look at some of the faces that made August a li

Ridley had a very scary morning. He made a midnight snack out of his blanket overnight. This morning he was clearly miserable, had severe diarrhea, and was vomiting. Off to AcuteVet for emergency care we go! X-rays show Ridley needed emergency surgery to remove the blanket and unkink his intestines. The veterinary team has also recommended a gastropexy to help reduce his risk of experiencing bloat in the future. This is a life-saving procedure and Ridley will need to remain i

Did you know August 1st is the unofficial birthday for shelter dogs everywhere? DOGust was started by North Shore Animal League America as a way to give shelter pets everywhere a special day to celebrate, especially those whose actual birthdays are unknown. Many pets who come into shelters like ours arrive with little to no information about their past. Sometimes we don’t know their exact birthday, or even if they’ve ever had one to celebrate. DOGust gives us the perfect exc

Warning: You're about to experience cuteness overload! Our newest arrivals include a pile of adorable kittens, one precious puppy, and a few charming adult cats who are hoping their next stop is home!

All of these pets will leave our care being as vaccinated as they can be, microchipped, and spay/neut

Ryan was looking for a mouse catcher after moving into a farmhouse just outside of Leavenworth. What he found was a best friend who enjoys snuggling, making biscuits and keeping watch over the homestead from his big kitchen window. Meet Sylvie. She's a bright-eyed, 7-year-old tabby cat whose persnickety attitude earned her quite the reputation at Leavenworth County Humane Society. She was surrendered to us when her owner entered long-term-care. Her struggle to acclimate quick

When Zelda escaped from a home overrun with neglected animals, she couldn't have known it would save her life—and the lives of dozens of other frightened dogs living in squalor. The 2-year-old poodle was near death when a passerby found her wandering down a rural road in 2024. She was brought to Leavenworth County Humane Society where our team quickly realized she needed emergency care. Severely anemic, matted and emaciated, Zelda was rushed to BluePearl Pet Hospital. "She wa
